Mr. Schmitz/Dotcom gives the impression of a wily and innovative Internet hustler, who arguably has more dog in this debate than anyone opposing the government's claims on the legality of removing any chance of privacy to citizens.

Something about Mr. Dotcom also reminds me of the media equivalent of a Swiss or Panamanian banker offering services where being off the books (or at least opaque) are a given to new customers, & no worries, no matter your activities. So, be it movies, non-payment use of compositions by artists/ now and in the past; snuff films or what-have-you, Dotcom has got the garage to park the car in question. I get how you could make several enormous mounds of money if you are good at this.
